ABSTRACT

Background: Mootrakrichha is a clinical entity mentioned in Ayurveda, characterised by pain and difficulty during micturition; it was found to correspond very much with Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). Although conventional antibiotics work, recurrence and drug resistance are common.

Objective(s): To assess and compare the effectiveness of Mootrakrichhaghni Peya and Yogasana in the management of Mootrakrichha.

Methods: Prospective clinical study of 40 patients. Group A (n=20) patients were given Mootrakrichhaghni Peya (prepared with Gokshura and Kantakari), while Group B (n=20) received the Peya along with yogasanas, that is Suptavajrasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Sarvangasana, and Moolabandha for 42 days.

Results: The response rate of symptoms was statistically significantly superior in group B. A total of 11 patients (55%) achieved maximum improvement, and 9 (45%) achieved moderate improvement in Group A. Group B represented 13 (65%) patients with maximum improvement and 7 (35%) with moderate improvement. Both groups showed significant decreases in pus cells and ESR.

Conclusion: Peya with Yogasana shows superior efficacy than diet alone in the case of Mootrakrichha management.
